Kinases are a large and complex class of highly druggable target proteins that are inherent to most signaling pathways. DiscoveRx Offers novel, target-specific cell-based assays to study a variety of kinase targets at the receptor and generic pathway relevant assays for intractable targets. Target-specific assays offer fewer false positives, more relevant pharmacology and lesser chance of compound interference, while the pathway assays from DiscoveRx offer broad applicability and downstream read-outs.

Why Cell-Based Assays for Kinases?

Kinase targets have been extensively studied in biochemical assays using purified protein fragments for the kinase and the substrate. Many drugs have been identified using in-vitro biochemical assays, such as enzyme activity and receptor binding. However, there is an increasing need to understand how kinase function in the context of a whole cell assay. Cell-based assays provide a target in a more physiologically relevant environment, a natural substrate and information on permeability of drugs. Kinase therapeutics in oncology involves small molecule inhibitors as well as antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies in cancer target the extracellular domain of the kinase or ligand binding domain and a cell-based such as PathHunter™ assays provide a broad platform for such novel discoveries.

Target Specific PathHunter™ Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Assay Applications:Uncover Compound Specificity and Selectivity Information

Kinase drug discovery has historically focused on using purified kinases to identify ATP pocket binders. The availability of an almost complete panel of cell-based RTK assays allows one to profile such known kinase inhibitors to obtain selectivity and specificity information. The data below demonstrates that non-specific compound such as staurosporine inhibits almost all RTK/CTK assays whereas certain compounds maintain their selectivity.

Figure 1. PathHunter™ RTK and CTK Functional assays were used to profile the BioMol Kinase inhibitor library. After an overnight incubation, cells were treated with 10 μM of compound for 1 hour at 37°C and then with the respective ligands for 3 hours at 23 – 25°C. Percent inhibition of each compound against a specific RTK/CTK assay was calculated. This data was then used to generate a Heat chart that illustrates the value of profiling hits identified against all receptors in a specific family as well as other related kinases in a biologically relevant cell-based assay format.

Discover Novel Antibodies and Small Molecule Inhibitors

Figure 2. (A) A series of commercially available anti-receptor antibodies (Blocking antibodies) were tested with PathHunter™ U2OS cells expressing ErbB1 (93-0681C3). A dose dependent inhibition can be observed. (B) PathHunter™ U2OS cells expressing TrkA (93-0462C3) can also be used to profile anti-ligand antibodies. The data demonstrates agonist dose response and anti-ligand antibody’s inhibitory response. (C) PathHunter TrkA, TrkB and TrkC cells can be used to identify, screen or profile small molecule inhibitors.

PathHunter™ Cell-Based Pathway Assays Monitor Downstream Signaling

In this PathHunter assay, the U2OS cells have been engineered to express two complementing fragments of β-Gal within different cellular compartments. The small 42 AA enzyme fragment, ProLink is appended to FOXO-3. The larger enzyme fragment EA (Enzyme Acceptor) resides in the nucleus. Inhibition of PI3 or AKT allows the unphos-phorylated FOXO-3 to translocate to the nucleus facilitating complementation of the two enzyme fragments. This action results in the formation of fully complemented β-galactosidase enzyme, the activity of which is measured using chemiluminescent PathHunter Detection Reagents.

PathHunter™ Cell-Based Kinase Assay Protocol

• Single reagent addtion, no wash format • Standard 96 well and 384 well protocol; can be miniaturized to 1536 • Chemiluminescent, gain-of-signal assay • No special instrumentation required

These PathHunter cells are available as clonal cell lines. Bulk cell options are also available.

Get Closer to Your Target with PathHunter™ Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Assays

The PathHunter™ assay monitors the interaction of two proteins in a cell-based assay format using Enzyme Frag-ment Complementation (EFC). The cells have been engineered to express two complementing fragments of β-Gal appended to the proteins of interest. The PathHunter Receptor Tyrosine Kinase assay monitors the interaction of tyrosine phosphorylated receptors with SH2 containing proteins in a whole cell, homogeneous HTS-friendly assay. In this system, a small 42 AA enzyme fragment, ProLink (PK) is appended to the C-terminus of the receptor target. The SH2 protein is fused to the larger enzyme fragment, EA (Enzyme Acceptor). Activation of the receptor initiates dimerization and tyrosine phosphorylation of the receptor and subsequent binding to the SH2-EA fusion that forces complementation of the two enzyme fragments This action results in the formation of fully complementedβ-galactosidase enzyme, the activity of which is measured using chemiluminescent PathHunter Detection Reagents.

DiscoveRx offers the largest whole cell-based kinase portfolio with a 80% coverage of the Receptor tyrosine kinase family. PathHunter receptor tyrosine kinase assays offer a unique assay that measures ligand binding, phosphoryla-tion and interaction with downstream adaptor proteins. A full length receptor allows identification of non-ATP pocket binders, antibody therapeutics (Panel A), ligand binding inhibitors and dimerization inhibitors as well as small molecule inhibitors (Panel B).

Whole Cell Assay for Cytokine Receptors and Cytosolic Tyrosine Kinases Assays

Unlike receptor tyrosine kinases, the cytokine receptors lack kinase activity and are phosphorylated by cytosolic tyrosine kinases. To detect the phosphorylation status of cytokine receptors the ProLink is fused to the C-terminus of the target receptor, and co-expressed with a phosphotyrosine binding domain fused to the complementing fragment, EA. Upon activation and phosphorylation of the receptor by the cytosolic kinase, the SH2 domain binds to the phos-phorylated residues. Specificity for a specific kinase can be obtained by co-expression of specific tyrosine kinases.

Simple, One-Step, Whole Cell Assay for Cytokine Signaling and Screening

Figure 4. (A) Assays for Jak1 and Jak2 were developed using the G-CSFR-SHC1 PathHunter cell line. The G-CSFR is known to couple to both JaK1 and Jak2 kinases. Addition of the agonist, G-CSF, induces the activation of the expressed kinase resulting in phosphorylation of the target receptor, binding of SHC1 and complementation of the enzyme that is measured using Pathhunter reagents. (B) CSF3R cell line was incubated with and inhibitors such as staurosporine, Lestaurtinib and Pyridone 6, P6, DBI (JAK Inhibitor 1) and challenged with EC90 of their respective agonists (G-CSF, a known agonist). A dose dependent inhibition was observed indicating that the assay can be used to screen or profile inhibitors against the JAK molecule. (C) The assay measures CSF3R activation, phosphorylation by JAK2 and interaction between CSF3R, JAK2 and SHC1 proteins in a cell-based assay.

Figure 2. (A) A series of commercially available anti-receptor antibodies (Blocking antibodies) were tested with PathHunter™ U2OS cells expressing ErbB1 (93-0681C3). A dose dependent inhibition can be observed. (B) PathHunter™ U2OS cells expressing TrkA (93-0462C3) can also be used to profile anti-ligand antibodies. The data demonstrates agonist dose response and anti-ligand antibody’s inhibitory response. (C) PathHunter TrkA, TrkB and TrkC cells can be used to identify, screen or profile small molecule inhibitors.

PathHunter™ Cell-Based Pathway Assays Monitor Downstream Signaling

In this PathHunter assay, the U2OS cells have been engineered to express two complementing fragments of β-Gal within different cellular compartments. The small 42 AA enzyme fragment, ProLink is appended to FOXO-3. The larger enzyme fragment EA (Enzyme Acceptor) resides in the nucleus. Inhibition of PI3 or AKT allows the unphos-phorylated FOXO-3 to translocate to the nucleus facilitating complementation of the two enzyme fragments. This action results in the formation of fully complemented β-galactosidase enzyme, the activity of which is measured using chemiluminescent PathHunter Detection Reagents.

PathHunter™ Cell-Based Kinase Assay Protocol

• Single reagent addtion, no wash format • Standard 96 well and 384 well protocol; can be miniaturized to 1536 • Chemiluminescent, gain-of-signal assay • No special instrumentation required

These PathHunter cells are available as clonal cell lines. Bulk cell options are also available.

Get Closer to Your Target with PathHunter™ Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Assays

The PathHunter™ assay monitors the interaction of two proteins in a cell-based assay format using Enzyme Frag-ment Complementation (EFC). The cells have been engineered to express two complementing fragments of β-Gal appended to the proteins of interest. The PathHunter Receptor Tyrosine Kinase assay monitors the interaction of tyrosine phosphorylated receptors with SH2 containing proteins in a whole cell, homogeneous HTS-friendly assay. In this system, a small 42 AA enzyme fragment, ProLink (PK) is appended to the C-terminus of the receptor target. The SH2 protein is fused to the larger enzyme fragment, EA (Enzyme Acceptor). Activation of the receptor initiates dimerization and tyrosine phosphorylation of the receptor and subsequent binding to the SH2-EA fusion that forces complementation of the two enzyme fragments This action results in the formation of fully complementedβ-galactosidase enzyme, the activity of which is measured using chemiluminescent PathHunter Detection Reagents.

DiscoveRx offers the largest whole cell-based kinase portfolio with a 80% coverage of the Receptor tyrosine kinase family. PathHunter receptor tyrosine kinase assays offer a unique assay that measures ligand binding, phosphoryla-tion and interaction with downstream adaptor proteins. A full length receptor allows identification of non-ATP pocket binders, antibody therapeutics (Panel A), ligand binding inhibitors and dimerization inhibitors as well as small molecule inhibitors (Panel B).

Whole Cell Assay for Cytokine Receptors and Cytosolic Tyrosine Kinases Assays

Unlike receptor tyrosine kinases, the cytokine receptors lack kinase activity and are phosphorylated by cytosolic tyrosine kinases. To detect the phosphorylation status of cytokine receptors the ProLink is fused to the C-terminus of the target receptor, and co-expressed with a phosphotyrosine binding domain fused to the complementing fragment, EA. Upon activation and phosphorylation of the receptor by the cytosolic kinase, the SH2 domain binds to the phos-phorylated residues. Specificity for a specific kinase can be obtained by co-expression of specific tyrosine kinases.

Simple, One-Step, Whole Cell Assay for Cytokine Signaling and Screening

Figure 4. (A) Assays for Jak1 and Jak2 were developed using the G-CSFR-SHC1 PathHunter cell line. The G-CSFR is known to couple to both JaK1 and Jak2 kinases. Addition of the agonist, G-CSF, induces the activation of the expressed kinase resulting in phosphorylation of the target receptor, binding of SHC1 and complementation of the enzyme that is measured using Pathhunter reagents. (B) CSF3R cell line was incubated with and inhibitors such as staurosporine, Lestaurtinib and Pyridone 6, P6, DBI (JAK Inhibitor 1) and challenged with EC90 of their respective agonists (G-CSF, a known agonist). A dose dependent inhibition was observed indicating that the assay can be used to screen or profile inhibitors against the JAK molecule. (C) The assay measures CSF3R activation, phosphorylation by JAK2 and interaction between CSF3R, JAK2 and SHC1 proteins in a cell-based assay.

Kinase drug discovery has historically focused on using purified kinases to identify ATP pocket binders. The availability of an almost complete panel of cell-based RTK assays allows one to profile such known kinase inhibitors to obtain selectivity and specificity information. The data below demonstrates that non-specific compound such as staurosporine inhibits almost all RTK/CTK assays whereas certain compounds maintain their selectivity.

Figure 1. PathHunter™ RTK and CTK Functional assays were used to profile the BioMol Kinase inhibitor library. After an overnight incubation, cells were treated with 10 μM of compound for 1 hour at 37°C and then with the respective ligands for 3 hours at 23 – 25°C. Percent inhibition of each compound against a specific RTK/CTK assay was calculated. This data was then used to generate a Heat chart that illustrates the value of profiling hits identified against all receptors in a specific family as well as other related kinases in a biologically relevant cell-based assay format.

DiscoveRx offers the largest whole cell-based kinase portfolio with a 80% coverage of the Receptor tyrosine kinase family. PathHunter receptor tyrosine kinase assays offer a unique assay that measures ligand binding, phosphoryla-tion and interaction with downstream adaptor proteins. A full length receptor allows identification of non-ATP pocket binders, antibody therapeutics (Panel A), ligand binding inhibitors and dimerization inhibitors as well as small molecule inhibitors (Panel B).

Whole Cell Assay for Cytokine Receptors and Cytosolic Tyrosine Kinases Assays

Unlike receptor tyrosine kinases, the cytokine receptors lack kinase activity and are phosphorylated by cytosolic tyrosine kinases. To detect the phosphorylation status of cytokine receptors the ProLink is fused to the C-terminus of the target receptor, and co-expressed with a phosphotyrosine binding domain fused to the complementing fragment, EA. Upon activation and phosphorylation of the receptor by the cytosolic kinase, the SH2 domain binds to the phos-phorylated residues. Specificity for a specific kinase can be obtained by co-expression of specific tyrosine kinases.

Simple, One-Step, Whole Cell Assay for Cytokine Signaling and Screening

Figure 4. (A) Assays for Jak1 and Jak2 were developed using the G-CSFR-SHC1 PathHunter cell line. The G-CSFR is known to couple to both JaK1 and Jak2 kinases. Addition of the agonist, G-CSF, induces the activation of the expressed kinase resulting in phosphorylation of the target receptor, binding of SHC1 and complementation of the enzyme that is measured using Pathhunter reagents. (B) CSF3R cell line was incubated with and inhibitors such as staurosporine, Lestaurtinib and Pyridone 6, P6, DBI (JAK Inhibitor 1) and challenged with EC90 of their respective agonists (G-CSF, a known agonist). A dose dependent inhibition was observed indicating that the assay can be used to screen or profile inhibitors against the JAK molecule. (C) The assay measures CSF3R activation, phosphorylation by JAK2 and interaction between CSF3R, JAK2 and SHC1 proteins in a cell-based assay.

Kinases are a large and complex class of highly druggable target proteins that are inherent to most signaling pathways. DiscoveRx Offers novel, target-specific cell-based assays to study a variety of kinase targets at the receptor and generic pathway relevant assays for intractable targets. Target-specific assays offer fewer false positives, more relevant pharmacology and lesser chance of compound interference, while the pathway assays from DiscoveRx offer broad applicability and downstream read-outs.

Why Cell-Based Assays for Kinases?

Kinase targets have been extensively studied in biochemical assays using purified protein fragments for the kinase and the substrate. Many drugs have been identified using in-vitro biochemical assays, such as enzyme activity and receptor binding. However, there is an increasing need to understand how kinase function in the context of a whole cell assay. Cell-based assays provide a target in a more physiologically relevant environment, a natural substrate and information on permeability of drugs. Kinase therapeutics in oncology involves small molecule inhibitors as well as antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies in cancer target the extracellular domain of the kinase or ligand binding domain and a cell-based such as PathHunter™ assays provide a broad platform for such novel discoveries.
